While many flock to the cinema to check out Fifty Shades of Grey, there are others who are very critical of the film and its subject matter, particularly relating to women and domestic/sexual violence.
Rev Dr Richard Leonard is an Australian Jesuit and the author of the books Where the hell is God?, Why Bother Praying and What are we doing on Earth for Christ's sake?
He is also the director of the Australian Catholic Film and Broadcasting Office and one of the few priests who has been to see Fifty Shades of Grey and he discussed the topic with Pat Kenny in studio today.
Rev Dr Leonard stated: "I think it's a tragedy.
"I think any film or book that is promoting or in any way putting into the mainstream violence against women, sexual violence towards women, even when women may be exploring for themselves... I found it a deeply disturbing book and deeply disturbing film.
"This is not glamorous behaviour, this is not normal behaviour."
"I think it's a very important film, I just worry about some of the things it has to say.
"Once you get something like that, that becomes a cultural document."
